Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Como midfielder Nico Paz.
The 21-year-old has done quite well in Italy, and he has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and Real Madrid as well. The Spanish club have an option to bring him back to the club for a set fee.
Spurs keen on Nico Paz
According to a report from Spanish publication AS, a return to his boyhood club seems very likely now. However, Tottenham have not given up on the pursuit of the player, and they are hoping to sign the playmaker.
They have reportedly ‘made inquiries’ for the Argentina international, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an offer to sign the player. Como will certainly prefer to sell the player to a club other than Real Madrid. The Spanish outfit have an option to bring him back to the club for just €9 million in the coming summer. On the other hand, Como could fetch a lot more from other clubs.
It remains to be seen what the player decides. If he is tempted to join Real Madrid, the Italian club will be under pressure.
Paz is highly rated
Tottenham will certainly hope to convince him to join the club. He is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he has impressed Lionel Messi.
Messi said of him: “Nico Paz has an incredible mindset, and that’s why he’s where he is. Nico has a lot of quality and understands the game perfectly.
“He has an incredible mindset, and he’s with Cesc Fabregas as a coach who is my friend and will help him grow a lot.”
There is no doubt that he could be an important player for Tottenham if they manage to get the deal done. They need more technical ability and creativity on the side. The South American would be a long-term investment.
